Let's throw another one into this mix.

I have one of these which I use for flying my Warrior:

It's based on this Samsung Display:

Samsung doesn't list a display brightness on the specs page, but having
used it numerous times in the air, I've never seen screen brightness to
be a problem. But with all these devices which have been lately pointed
out here, how do you fit the thing into a glider cockpit?

But what I actually fly with is a Nokia 500 PNA, which I bought off eBay
for $110. I unlocked it and loaded XCSoar on it, along with a whole
group of software called MioPocket. And, it still has all its original
PNA functionality. Yes, screen brightness is a slight problem, but I
can live with it as is.

Actually, some of the stuff I've seen written lately is upsetting me a
bit. You have nice, informative articles by Mr. Remde in Gliding
International, and maybe even in Soaring, but they don't mention XCSoar
as software to use. I've been using it for more than a year and can't
imagine something else I'd want it to do. I also own PocketStrepla
running on an Axim X51v which is no better, if as good. I'm sure Paul's
(and other writer's) writing is biased by trying to sell the products
that make him a living, and he gets nothing from XCSoar.
